I was referring to those who complain about their parents' behavior and values, while being supported and nurtured by them, and do not seek a job and an apartment to make themselves separated and independent concretely as well as mentally.

We do not even have that information (at least I do not have such information about anybody here – maybe you know more).
In any case the description doesn't fit on that profile message targeted on Christmas.

My message was supposed to be a friendly(!) warning that you are jumping to conclusions.

"complain about their parents' behavior and values […] and do not seek a job"
There is more than black/white to this.

I've just heard and read it too often.

Why do so many people complain over people complaining over […]?

Have you considered that those, who "depend" on their parents sometimes might actually sometimes be the victims? Victims you blame for their inability to simply change their life if they dislike the status quo?

"If you are unsatisfied with your life, it is your own fault! (for not changing it)
If you can't change it, it is your own fault as well! (for not accepting and being happy with it)"

You are making a whole lot of assumptions here, Nikokaro. People visit their parents/family for Christmas and other major holidays even if they are independent, live elsewhere, don't usually talk to them (or wherever else on the scale between "living with your mom" and "cutting all ties and changing your name to escape your family" they stand), because there is a huge cultural and societal pressure to do so.

And just because they don't see eye to eye about everything (or most things, or pretty much anything) doesn't mean they will cut all ties and burn all bridges.
